Important items to note:
 TRS has announced a statewide increase in premiums and changes in most
health care plans for the 2016-2017 plan year.
 Please take note that the ActiveCare Select plan is an HMO and is VERY
restrictive with regard to in-network providers based on the geographic region
in which you live. For example, this plan may NOT cover your dependent
student who is attending school outside of your county. Also, it will only
provide “emergency” coverage for you when traveling. Bottom line – please
be very diligent in your decision before choosing this plan. Aetna has already
said there will be no exceptions to change from this plan without a qualifying
event.
Information regarding this plan (and all other plans) can be found on the TRS
website at https://www.trsactivecareaetna.com.

What is the deadline to enroll?
Open enrollment will be held from Friday, July 1, 2016 through Monday, August
22, 2016.

Am I required to complete the enroll process even if I don’t want any of the
coverage or need to make any changes to my existing coverage?
YES! Due to requirements of the Affordable Care Act, all employees are required to
complete the enrollment process – even if it is simply to “decline” coverage This year
is a passive enrollment, which allows all coverage to rollover, with the exception of
Flex Spending Accounts (FSA). If you are declining coverage, Federal Law requires
that we have a documented record in In-Roll (online enrollment system) of your
declination. Please see “How do I enroll?” below.
